Ellen Raskin
Chapters Ten to Twelve
E
llen Raskin was born March 13, 1928 in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. She entered the University of Wisconsin with the idea of becoming a journalist. Instead, she discovered she had an interest in fine art. She moved to New York and began working at a commercial art studio. Then, she moved into freelance illustration and design. She contributed to the Saturday Evening Post and designed book covers, including the original cover for A Wrinkle in Time. She won various awards for her art.
Answer each question with a complete sentence. In the last section, we learned that Judge J.J. Ford had her suspicions that Sam Westing has not been murdered but has other motives. She plays detective to find answers to the game. Why do you think the author chose Judge Ford for this role instead of one of the other heirs?
2.
If Sam Westing has not been murdered—as Judge Ford believes—do you think he might be one of the heirs? If so, which one? Give reasons for your choice.
